             Summary: ACID-query retry integration
                 Key: IMPALA-9734
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-9734
             Project: IMPALA
          Issue Type: Sub-task
            Reporter: Sahil Takiar


We need to consider how query retries interact with ACID transactions. As of 
IMPALA-9199, Impala will create new ClientRequestStates for each query retry 
and will cache the TExecRequest between ClientRequestStates. This might not be 
safe for ACID transactions. If the first query attempt fails, then the 
transaction will fail and a new one will be required. However, the query retry 
will use the transaction id / info from the original query attempt.

I think the semantics are not entirely clear here, and we don't have any tests 
for this. So the goal of this JIRA is to (1) identify if there are any issues 
with the current approach, (2) fix any issues with transactions during query 
retries, and (3) add some query retry tests that enable transactions.

We might want to consider whether a query and it's retry should be in the same, 
or different transactions. Keeping them in the same transaction should allow us 
cache the TExecRequest. If they are in separate transactions, then Impala might 
need to create a new TExecRequest for each retry.
